Hannah Green’s impressive comeback
After a missed cut at the KPMG Women’s PGA at Hazeltine, Hannah Green surely came into France hungry. It was bleak early on for Green on Thursday at Evian, however, where she was 4 over after seven holes. But one of the strongest minds on tour kept battling, pouring in five birdies coming in to shoot 1-under 70. She trails leader Aki Iwai by seven.

Charley Hull back in the mix at a major
Charley Hull was 2 over after 7 holes in the opening round of the Evian, and then everything changed. Back-to-back birdies on Nos. 8 and 9 changed the momentum for the Englishwoman. On the back nine, Hull made birdies on Nos. 13, 15 and 16 before making eagle on the last. In her post-round interview on Golf Channel, Hull smiled as she credited the ice cream her caddie had on the 15th.
What is the prize money at the Amundi Evian Championship?
The field of 132 is competing for a purse of $9.1 million, up from $8 million from a year ago.
Who’s the defending champion at the Amundi Evian?
Grace Kim pulled off one of the most dramatic Sundays in major championship history a year ago. Kim played the 18th hole at Evian Golf Resort eagle-birdie-eagle to become the second straight Aussie to win an LPGA major, defeating Jeeno Thitikul in style. Kim played the last four holes in regulation in 4 under to get into a playoff with the world No. 2 after a closing 67. This marks her second LPGA title.
